When he > posted, he got this error: Run postmap /etc/mailman/virtual-mailman and postalias /etc/mailman/aliases assuming those are the correct paths, and run them both as the 'mailman' user. In any case, the resultant virtual-mailman.db and aliases.db should be both user and group 'mailman' or whatever the mailman user/group is on your system. Note that the command is postmap for the virtual maps and postalias for the aliases; If that doesn't fix it, post the output from 'postconf -n' and the postfix log messages for a failed delivery. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
